Remarks

You can grill the diced Morteau sausage before pouring it into the polenta for a spicier taste.

Cancoillotte metton is not easy to find if you're not in Franche-Comté in France. If you can't find it, substitute it with classic cancoillotte.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film, can be frozen.
